What would you do here?
- Thread starter Neil
- Start date
Assuming it lines up ok, I would play a thin safe off the 1 ball, aiming at either at the 6-9 or the 3, just nudging the one over a little. I would really have to see it before doing this - to see if a soft draw might pull the cueball somewhere behind the 8 and ideally the 3. It would have to be hit with enough speed to make rail contact.
If it's dead or can be thrown, I might shoot through the one and bank it back into the side, since the two is sitting in the other corner.

Ps. looks like they got the WEI editing function fixed.

I would hate to have to push out here, but if I had to I might push out to this situation, assuming the table is tight - which looks like an off-line combo - not easy. I would hope to get it back:
Then if I got it back, I would play this safe:

hit the cue ball with a little left english
I'd hit the cue ball with a little left spin. The one will rock or move slightly so anyone watching will have to call good hit. bank off the side rail and try to hide behind the 8-3 or freeze on the end rail.
Legal safety so it can't be given back and if the other player can see or kick at the one the seven blocks the nearest pocket. I like those odds.

This might be a good time to put Bob Jewett's 2X fuller system to work:
Since the CB and 1-ball are lined up nearly perpendicular to the cushion, the aim point is about half the distance to where the cueball is to contact it (i.e., close to the left point of the side pocket).

Im calling the ref to watch the hit and if you dont hit the shot good your probably selling out.I would call a push out go behind the 4 and try to
get the six a little ways from the 9 and leaving a hard shot on the 1.
With the CB frozen to the 1 it's an automatic good hit. Just aim the CB where Neil put the 15 (just past the opposite side pocket) and stroke straight through at medium speed with a little follow. The 1 moves (good hit) and the CB will hit the opposite rail right about where Neil put the 10.

This would be an interesting play if you're a good shotmaker and you're opponent isn't. If I got it back (unlikely) , I would take this shot and go around the 7 ball or carom into it for shape.

Another safety play from my previous push out - not too difficult to pull off, a thin hit. The push out is probably as difficult as these safes.

Glad to see you posting these again.
My first look was the 6-9 combo.
But you must know by now i'm going to over-think it.
The combo works on excellent conditions but mix up the ages of the balls
and you get surprises.
On a soft-rubbered gold crown the bank looks good.Jack with right english
and hold for the 2 with a soft hit.This hit is pretty consistent whether the
cue ball is old and small or it's a measle with old object balls.
The bank is even easier to throw on dirty cloth.
You just appealed to the grinder in me.
I DO like the saftey factor going for the combo.
I remain the guy who would put his own grandmother on 3 fouls
Jim-nice call.
The smooth speed thru the one may get you safe under the 8 or 3 or 4 orleave the opponent tough at the end of the table if you don't succeed with the combo. The one looks like it will miss the five and go back and forth. Worth a 2 way swing at it.
Is Bob's method- take 1/2 the spread and/then another half on the short side as an aiming line at the rail?
You guys are good.
